milankalus Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 I don't understand the difference between speed test done by two different companies, Broadband and Testmy.net. In my case the difference is 300kbps download and 70kbps upload. I must say I like Test.my better because it gives me better result. However, who is right?

organ_shifter Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 Welcome to the boards milankalus. Enjoy your stay and spread the word about this wonderful site. Well, Ca3le takes pride in being the most accurate on the net. The speed test here at TestMy.net is fully optimized to take full advantage of your connection. IMO, TestMy.net is the better of the two...hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milankalus Posted June 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't do any hacking. Just reporting the speeds which I measured by Broadband Reports (BBS.com) and Testmy.net. BTW, the discrepancy is striking. I made a mistake reporting the download speed difference just 300kbps when in fact it's almost 1300kbps. Milan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 Its been explained several times but the difference is testmy's tests are not Java based.The BBS.com test is Java based. That's the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
